What it isYou study the French language, literature, and cultures of French-speaking regions around the world, not just France. This program goes deeper into reading and analyzing texts than a typical high school French course, and explores the history and societies behind the language. It suits students who enjoy reading and writing in French and want to understand how language shapes culture.You study one modern language in depth — French, Spanish and Latin American culture, or Italian — alongside English literature and related humanities. Each stream lets you focus on the language itself, its literature, and the history and culture of regions where it's spoken. This suits you if you want genuine fluency in a second language combined with understanding of its cultural context, rather than a broad survey of multiple languages.A Bachelor of Arts is a four-year degree where you study humanities and social sciences — subjects like English, history, psychology, anthropology, or environmental studies. You choose a major (or sometimes two) and take courses across different disciplines to build broad knowledge alongside deep expertise in your chosen area. This program suits students curious about understanding human culture, society, language, and ideas, who want flexibility to explore different fields before specializing.An Honours BA lets you specialize in one or more subjects from the humanities, sciences, and social sciences while building a broad education across different fields. You choose your major — such as English, Anthropology, Computer Science, or Creative Writing — and take courses in that area alongside electives that let you explore other disciplines. This program suits people who want depth in a subject they care about but also value exposure to different ways of thinking and fields of knowledge.
